Phone networks are backdoored

[Aurelian]

Old cell phones networks encryption were deliberately weakened

Motherboard: A new academic paper found two old encryption algorithms still used in phone networks can be exploited to snoop on phone's internet traffic. GEA-1, the algorithm used when the phone industry adopted GPRS standards in 2G networks, was effectively backdoored that could allow the decryption of a phone user's traffic. One of the researchers said millions of users were poorly protected for years as a result of having to "meet political requirements." GEA-2, the succeeding algorithm, did not contain the same weaknesses. But GEA-1 is still baked into some phones as a fallback when there's only GPRS coverage in certain countries.

What need is there to read. It is just to be assumed that we are monitored and spied on. Don't worry- it's us stubborn religious types who they want to get rid of.

They was always monitoring nothing surprising.

Of course if one is smart enough,
then it's possible to reverse engineer a patch to fix the backdoor from network exploit leaks??

Since it's mentioned it's an old technology backed up on new phones as a unused back up network service I'm guessing.

Something to think about! Been Known.
